CCPD Scam Alert

March 27, 2025
Coconut Creek Police Department Scam Alert

Blackmail scams are the basis for this Coconut Creek Police Department Scam Alert. These scams come in several different forms, including a version related to Facebook. Recently a woman called us after a con artist convinced her that her social media accounts had been flagged due to pornographic material. The scammer asked her to pay to have the images destroyed and unlock her accounts. This is a form of blackmail and a scam. While her social media accounts were hacked, it had nothing to do with pornography. It was a scare tactic and it worked. It’s important to have strong, secure passwords on your social media so this doesn’t happen to you. Never let anyone frighten you into making some sort of a payment or giving out your bank account information over the phone, via text or email.

The City of Coconut Creek charges $60 per hour (minimum of 3 hours) to have a uniformed officer with marked patrol vehicle cover a detail. On national holidays, the charge is $75 per hour (same minimum). Details should be requested as soon as possible to help ensure coverage. Anytime a request is for 4 or more officers, one of the officers will be at a supervisor rate of $70 per hour. If a supervisor is needed on a holiday, the rate will be $90 per hour. For traffic related only details, whenever a police officer is not available, a police service aide can also work the detail. The vendor will be notified prior to the detail and can decline the police service aide if wanted. The City does not guarantee all details will be covered, but will make every effort to schedule an officer for your event. Once your request has been received, the Detail Coordinator will contact you to confirm. The Detail Officer for Event form is available and should there be any questions, you will be contacted.
